The order of structure through which motor impulse leaves the spinal cord as it passes away from the brain. Introduction: The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system that controls all the activities of the body. The spinal cord is enclosed in the vertebral column, which protects it from an injury. The spinal cord is continuous with the brainstem from the medulla oblongata and extends up to the lumbar region as a long tubular structure. The spinal cord contains cerebrospinal fluid and is covered with meninges, the protective envelope. The spinal cord is the coordinating center of impulses and acts by connecting the brain and peripheral nervous system. The spinal cord has a central canal in the middle surrounded by gray matter that is seen as butterfly shaped. The gray matter is surrounded by the white matter at the periphery.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
